A single song can crack open a whole conversation about being human. Starting with The Police’s So Lonely, we explore how loneliness and connection can live in the same breath—and how that breath becomes the bridge. Our guest, astrologer, yoga therapist, and sound artist Amy Jensen, shares a life woven from art school charcoal, a euphonium’s brass, Sanskrit syllables, Reiki sessions, and the steady practice of paying attention. Together we unpack what resonance really means, why humming is underrated medicine, and how simple rituals reset a frayed nervous system.
We dive into the ethics of spiritual work: how to offer readings that empower rather than imprison, why consent matters with energy, and how to avoid oversimplified astrology stereotypes. Amy traces her training through Kriya yoga, Heart of Sound, and iRest Yoga Nidra, showing how mantra and Nidra shift us from performance to presence. If you’ve ever wondered whether sound healing is for you, you’ll hear clear distinctions between analytic insight from charts and the direct experience of a sound bath where the thinking mind can rest.
We also take on skepticism and stigma with nuance. Amy has taught in communities wary of yoga or astrology, and she reveals practical language choices that keep doors open. We discuss division fatigue, Kali Yuga, and choosing unity through tiny, embodied acts: soften the jaw, lengthen the exhale, hum for two minutes, and watch how your perception changes. Along the way, you’ll pick up journaling prompts, mantras for clearing (hello Ganesha) and for love-forward living (Krishna), plus a simple frame for protecting your energy online and offline.
If you’re craving tools that are grounded, accessible, and surprisingly joyful, this conversation is your map. Tap play, then tell us what practice brings you back to yourself.
